Read the back of my Folic Acid :-\

[xshauna_bazx]

I read the back and it says:

folic acid 400mcg (200% RDA), microcrystalline cellulose, dicalcium phosphate, strearic acid, silica, magnesium stearate.

Bloody hell that took a while haha!

What im asking is...isnt it just meant to be 100% folic acid...have i been taking something with a load of shit in it? Its off the internet! From simply supplements! All that extra stuff they shove in diet pills, im sure the diet pills i took a while back had all this in?

Also is doesnt say how long i can take it for?

well mine ingredients are:

bulking agents (sorbitol, maltodextrin) folic acid preparation (maltodextrin, folic acid), magnesium stearate.

its says to take daily at least 3 months before and until the 12th week of pregnancy.

not sure about all the other things, but mine is 200% rda too and its a pregnacare one with other vitamins etc in it
It was the one the mw told me to get so Im guessing its fine at 200%

took mine till 12 weeks 3 days then gave up as i kept forgetting and was told its ok to stop now as it has no benefit after 12 weeks

Plus mine were 95p jobby from morrisons so no idea what was in them x
